Learn more by watching our HAGER ADA916T | 16 Amp 2 Pole 6kA | 30mA RCD/MCB RCBO video.
The Hager ADA916T is a 16 amp 2 pole RCD/MCB combined in a single device (RCBO) rated 6kA, protecting against both overload and earth leakage on 30mA. It combines residual current protection and miniature circuit breaker functionality in one DIN-rail module, complies with AS/NZS 61009-1, and is suitable for commercial and residential single-phase circuits protecting motors, appliances, and control equipment.
On domestic sites and multi-unit installations, single RCBOs are often the choice over separate RCDs and MCBs because they save switchboard space and simplify labelling. The 16A rating suits general-purpose loads like lighting and power circuits on a single phase. Where a 30mA RCD is required under Australian Standards for circuits serving hand-held tools or outdoor work, the ADA916T delivers that protection in a compact 2-module footprint without wasting space on the board.
Electricians select the ADA916T for retrofit work and new installations where reliable earth-leakage tripping on 30mA is non-negotiable. The C-curve characteristic handles mild inrush currents on small motors and transformers without nuisance trips. The test button allows the installer to verify the earth-leakage function before energising the circuit, a mandatory check under AS/NZS 3017. The ADA916T has been a workhorse on Australian job sites for two decades, and the combination of affordable pricing, proven reliability, and fast availability keeps it a default choice for sparkies stocking a broad range of protection sizes.
The ADA916T is not suitable for circuits where harmonic currents or DC-leakage ground faults are likely to occur (for which Type B or Type F RCBOs are required). It is also not designed for AC or DC leakage types beyond Type A residual currents, and should not be used in situations where 100mA or larger leakage sensitivity is required by design.
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Hager ADA916T 16 Amp 2 Pole 6kA 30mA RCD/MCB RCBO (ADA916T)
"Great product and fast postage." — Peter
"Top item and good value." — Homestead
"Always reliable." — Paul
(ADA916T)
RCD/MCB (RCBO) combines residual current device and miniature circuit breaker into a single device. It saves switchboard space (one 2-module unit instead of two) and simplifies labelling. Use it when space is tight or when you need both earth-leakage and overload protection on a single phase circuit.
Yes. AS/NZS 3000 requires a 30mA RCD on any circuit supplying portable power tools. The ADA916T meets this standard and trips in under 200ms on a 30mA fault to earth, making it compliant for tool circuits in domestic and commercial installations.
Yes, the C-curve characteristic is designed to tolerate inrush currents from small motors (5–10 times rated current) without nuisance tripping. It will not trip on motor start, but will respond instantly to a true overload or short circuit of 16A or above.
The ADA916T operates safely from -25°C to +40°C without derating the 16A current. Storage temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, making it suitable for Australian outdoor and tropical conditions.
Yes. AS/NZS 3017 requires the RCD earth-leakage function to be tested by pressing the test button on the device. The ADA916T should trip in under 200ms; if it does not, the circuit has a fault and must not be energised.
The Hager ADA916T is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
